For some, getting out of bed on New Year's Day is challenge enough. For the more hardy among us, Jan. 1, 2016 is a day for feats of strength far beyond mixing bloody marys and sucking down eggs Benedict. The eighth annual Frozen Stones Highland Challenge, hosted by the Scottish American Athletic Association, is about as hard-core as it gets, with traditional Highland competitions like the caber toss and hammer throw—kilt-lifting weather be damned.
More than 40 athletes have already preregistered, many ranked by the SAAA, which sanctions Highland sports nationwide, promising a spirited day of cold weather competition 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Gem Island Sports Complex in Emmett. For spectators, there will be food, drink and fire pits to welcome the new year Scottish style.

About Me
Even though you've left, Kirbies still loves you. <33 OuO
sparkle sparkle (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・
I'd be lying if I said I was going to finish editing my profile sometime in March. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to finish editing my profile. :l
Hi there! I'm Kirby, but others usually call me Vani, Kirbs, or Kirbies. Feel free to call me whichever. There isn't a lot that I can say about myself--well, I can't say anything positive about myself. For starters, I am socially awkward. I try to socialize, but I do a horrible job. It's noticeable. I hate large groups because I'm too shy, I fear I may offend someone, or I have nothing to say. I've offended a lot of people, so that's encouraged me to keep my mouth shut. I prefer to be alone and do everything by myself. I don't usually like the company of others. It makes me feel kind of awkward. I don't like asking others for help. I prefer to do things and learn things without the help of others. Basically, I'm a loner and I enjoy being one.
I'm Vani. Just an average fifteen year old demiromantic girl. I'm currently in my third year of high school, and I'm studying culinary arts. I've been told I'm intelligent for my age. I choose not to show my intelligence for very personal reasons. I purposely make several mistakes in my typing/writing; it's my wacky way of improving my English by spotting errors.
I guess I've reached that point where I want to share some personal things with the members of this site.
+Most of you probably don't know this, but I am demiromantic.
+I am demisexual/Gray-A
+I am a bibliophile.
+I consider myself sapiosexual.
+I am Paranoid Schizophrenic.
~Here are a few of my hobbies~
Drawing ~ Drawing is one of my favorite hobbies. I first started drawing when I was in first grade, I was about 7 at the time. My first grade teacher asked all the students to illustrate something and write a story, which she would collect and make a huge book out of. My illustration and story were horrible. My classmate's had done a better job than me. I was inspired by their "one million dollar artworks" and soon, I started taking art. I took art when I was around the seventh grade, I was 11 at the time. My art instructor didn't teach me to draw, but she offered great advice for shading and so on. I took her advanced art class, and I have been taking advanced art classes ever since. I learned to draw by myself by watching Youtube tutorials or finding images I liked on Google. I continue to draw almost every day; I draw about 100 doodles at the end of every week, depending on my mood. I have a Deviantart, if anyone is interested in finding me there. I also have a few art threads here.
Charity work/Community Service ~ I am a part of a school program where we have to help the community and everyone around us. School beautification, fundraisers, car washes, etc. As part of my community service, I decided to visit a shelter for homeless kids and teens. Since I am in the Culinary Arts, my friends and I like to cook and bake sweets for the kids at the shelter. We visit the kids every two weeks. We bring the food, and we do several fun activities like arts-and-crafts, drawing, or doing anything fun as long as it's safe and appropriate. I enjoy visiting them. c: They're like siblings to me and I would do anything for them. I've been visiting them since ninth grade (I think?) and I guess I've grown attached to them. Sadly, 2014 will be my last year volunteering before I graduate. I won't be able to visit them as often as I'd like. I might have the chance to visit them more often, but I'm still unsure.
Debating ~ I am a proud debater. I love love love love love debating. ^^ My teacher says I'm the second best debater in her class, so that has got to mean something. I usually don't debate with anyone outside of my debate class, but if you ever want to debate, let me know. ;3 I'll most likely say no, but we'll see. One of my weaknesses would be rebuttaling. My rebuttals are horrible.
Video games ~ Honestly, I don't play many video games. Heck, I hardly play them. O.O I blame KH13. I have a few games, but they're mostly made up of Final Fantasy, Mario Kart, Kingdom Hearts, and Just Dance. I am currently trying to join the Assassin's Creed fandom. I hear that it is an amazing game, and I would love to play the games soon. (:
If anyone is interested in the games I currently own...

Cheng Li is Research Director at the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution, and a director of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. Focusing on the transformation of political leaders, generational change and technological development, Dr. Li has advised a wide range of government, business and non-profit organizations on working in China. The Consul is honored to have Dr. Li share his opinions the rule of law and constitutionalism in China. This is one of the three serial interviews with Brookings experts that the Consul conducted during the summer.
The Interview was conducted in the summer before the trial of Bo Xilai.
The Consul: It was announced yesterday that former Chongqing Party Chief Bo Xilai will stand "open trial" on Thursday for the charges of bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power. How do you think about this new announcement?
Li: Chinese society is so divided on Bo Xilai, because some people still treat him as a hero, or someone who is unfairly treated, or even deny his corruption. But some people think that he's a Hitler. He's hypocritical. Even the intellectuals are divided by the so called "new left" and liberal intellectuals, particularly those who emphasize the rule of law. The leadership has different opinions on how to trial him and what kind of punishment he deserves. There is a tendency trying to reduce Bo Xilai's crimes to concentrate on corruption and bribery. But that brought several issues. First, He is less corruptive compared to many other people. Secondly, he's famous for being anti-corruption(打黑). Thirdly, this case is not about corruption. It's about murder, deception, defection… all kind of things that are more interesting than corruption.
The Consul: there are also a lot of arguments that he's just using it as a tool in the political game. He ran a huge campaign about anti-corruption, but we can see from Li Zhuang(李庄)'s case and many other stories that it's not necessarily the case. He seems to just use it to fight for his position in the Poliburo. Do you think that's widely recognized?
Li: That's a good question. We do not have reliable information, because we cannot do a survey. What we heard is anecdotal, but social media is not reliable. However, it's reasonable to assume that certainly some people like him for various reason. Some people think he's unfairly treated. Some people think he's charismatic and fun to see. Some people think he might be a bad guy but at least can get things done. Some people just want to use him to undermine current stability. To answer your question, it is fair to say that at least in certain sectors in the Chinese society, certain intellectuals are sympathetic with him, or wants to use him for their different agenda, or use him to express the dissatisfaction of the current situation.
The Consul: I did a quick search of "judicial independence" on weibo(微博) earlier, and there is a huge divide in opinions. Some people categorize judicial independence, along with constitutionalism, privatization and democracy as the invasion of western ideology. This presents a prominent social discourse to reject liberalism in the name of nationalism. How do you see the impact of such discourse and where do they come from?
Li: It comes from the establishment of the political leadership. They are scared that if they really go to constitutionalism, the power of the party will be severely damaged. That will leave the door open for all kind of changes. First, the party will lose control over military, over media, over the personnel. Eventually, it's a fundamental move towards more open, more accountable, more rule of law society. This is what the conservatives do not want to see.
However, as we see in the western experience, constitutionalism and the rule of law will not only protect the poor people, but also protect the elites. But these elites are so scared that they don't even want to test that scenario. They understand that this is the right thing to do, but they are scared of the consequences if they open it, so they just try to resist. This is so ironic that they use western conspiracy theory and talk about the uniqueness of Chinese experience. If we want uniqueness, you don't need to talk about rule of law or democracy. You can just emphasize that the Communist Party is the best regime. Then just go with the North Korean style. That's against the trend. Sun Yat-sen used to say that you cannot resist the global trend. It's very ironic that after 100 years, China is still in that stage.
No one argues that China needs to adopt the western style. No one says all the legal systems will be the same. But there are some fundamental things that make the society a mature society. Fundamental things should be similar, but the style, the format, depends on historical circumstance. That's why there's Indian democracy, British democracy, Japanese democracy. But what makes these democracy similar are the same things. We do not expect China to be completely identical with someone else.
The Consul: As Mr. John Thornton mentioned in his foreword to the book In the Name of Justice, the rule of law is essential for China's economic development and stock market potential. Do you think this push for China to join the international community is a result of the economic development?
Li: Yes, in this specific case. In some other cases, it's driven by ethnic tensions, or identity crisis. For example, Taiwanese democracy is driven by the search of its own identity after 1980s and kicked out of the UN. It derives from a sense to find the new identity, so democracy became an appealing thing. But in Chinese case, the driving force early on is economic development. When you have the middle class, new social media and legal professionals start to emerge and such integration with the outside world, you almost for sure will move to that direction. You cannot separate economics from politics, no matter how hard you argue. But there should also be a process. It's not a day event. This is what we called mature democracy or the transition of democracy.
The Consul: You mentioned earlier that the fundamental values are the same but the format might be different. If we assume that the party does have the intention to move to judicial independence at some point. Realistically speaking, what kind of obstacles will they face if they choose such a top-down approach?
Li: I think still three things: election, media supervision, and, most fundamentally, the rule of law. In China's case, first, you need to improve the constitution. Secondly, even current constitution, even with some flaws, should be obeyed, should be superior to anything else.
In 1989 Tiananmen Square incident, I was sympathetic with the student movement, but I did not support it. I didn't think at that time China was ready for democracy, because the mature civil society did not exist: the middle class did not exist and the private sector was very weak. Only after 1989, China started to establish the private entrepreneurs and private firms. But now after 24 years, China already has a mature middle class and relatively growing civil society. China is ready for it.
More importantly, Chinese leadership starts to have factions or coalitions. That's the cause for many political cases: Bo Xilai(薄熙来) and Liu Zhijun(刘志军) in 2013, Chen Liangyu(陈良宇) in 2006, and early on, Chen Xitong (陈希同) in 1995. Yes, Chinese leadership is a monopoly power, but that does not mean that Chinese leadership is a monolistic group. It has different leaders with different backgrounds. They naturally form some factions or coalitions. These factions can check and balance each other. I'm not saying that China should have a revolution. In fact, constitutionalism will prevent China from a revolution by having incremental change. The time is running short. China is in this critical moment. Ultimate result may be the same, but this way can save a lot of people's life.
The Consul: some argue that the Chinese middle class is facing a lot of pressure and insecurity over their property and housing issue. How much space do you think the Chinese middle class have to participate in politics?
Li: Middle class is a big basket including three major groups: government officials, private sector and intellectuals. Within the basket, the levels of leadership also differ. Low level officials are very cynical about the current situation. Middle class is a huge consumption power – it's already there. When I wrote my first book about China in 1997 about middle class, people rejected my book and said there was no such a thing. But now everyone acknowledges the existence of middle class of about three billion people. That makes China the largest middle class country. Currently government power favors large companies, and that makes middle class unhappy.
Most importantly, it's a generational thing. With more students who studies in the U.S. and go back to China, there will be a critical mass to change China. They have experienced different political systems and know the problems of both. This confidence they gain will help them. Democracy is not a dangerous thing. This historical moment gives us a paradox of hope and fear and confidence to build a better society. That's a message should be sent to the young generation of Chinese.

Shoulder Injuries - Rotator Cuff
In order to understand a rotator cuff syndrome, it is important to briefly review the anatomy of the shoulder joint. As described in the first of this series, the shoulder is a ball and socket type of joint, that the Lord created in a way that it allows for maximum mobility.
There are four major muscle groups around the shoulder joint, called the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. These muscles are commonly called the "rotator cuff muscles" and function together as a unit to depress or lower the shoulder joint in the arm socket so that it could move freely.
When one of these muscles are strained or torn, the shoulder rides a little higher in the socket and often causes pain, limitation of movement and swelling. When this is identified, rehabilitation efforts should be aimed at reducing swelling, increasing range of motion and rotational exercises to condition, coordinate and strengthen the specific muscle(s) in the cuff that have been weakened or torn.
Exercises, however, must be incorporated at the right time. If an inflamed joint is prematurely exercised, it could become more inflamed. Likewise if a person performs the wrong kind of exercises, this could worsen their condition. Many well meaning patients attempt to exercise a sore shoulder and develop a shoulder impingement syndrome. We will be discussing this more next week.

Immigration Categories
To immigrate to Canada, you must first determine what type of application you seek. Your choices are:
- visit
- live permanently
- work
- study
- travel through
The application for each of these categories is different, and so are the eligibility requirements.
Eligibility RequirementsEach application will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Questions asked will include your:
- job offer detailsnationality
- income and net worth
- age
- work experience
- language abilities
- education
- family membersThese inquiries will establish which application you need, so answering them correctly and accurately is imperative.If you are eligible and use the applications online, the results will be noted only as a reference point. An immigration officer will receive your request and will decide if it is in alignment with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
A new entry requirement has been put into effect that requires foreign nationals who are visa-exempt to have an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel through or fly to Canada. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travelers with a valid Canadian visa.
Those who have dual citizenship and Canadian permanent residents cannot apply for eTA Canada. Friends and family who visit the country need to apply for their visa or eTA well ahead of the time they are planning to arrive.
Skilled Immigrant Express Entry
A skilled immigrant can become a citizen of Canada is they are able to settle in the country and can take part in the economy. A new system, Express Entry, manages the way those with skilled work experience apply to immigrate.
The National Occupational Classification (NOC)
The NOC is a method by which the country can classify occupations, based on the type of work an applicant does and the types of duties he or she have had pertaining to his or her job. The job data is then divided into groups according to skill levels.
Temporary workers are not permanent citizens but can apply for immigration at some point after they have arrived, if they wish.
Alternate Avenues for Immigrants
The "Quebec-selected skilled workers" regulation is a special immigration agreement that Quebec has with the Canadian Government. To access this avenue, skilled workers must apply to the government of Quebec for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ)
There are other avenues, such as:
- Applying to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residency.
- Applying for the immigrant entrepreneurs Start-up Visa Program
- Applying for the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Pilot Program (not currently accepting applications)
- Applying as a self-employed cultural, athletic activities, or farmer visa
- Applying through family sponsorship
- Applying by being nominated by a province or territory in Canada
- Applying using the Atlantic Immigration Pilot by graduating froma school or working in certain provinces
- Applying as a caregiver for the elderly, children
immigrating as a refugee
Inadmissible Applicants
A person could be ineligible if a potential immigrant has a criminal conviction, but he or she could overcome this barrier.
Once you have navigated these waters, it is time for you to learn French or English and to adjust to the Canadian way of living.

Arbitration act 'bad public policy,' NCAL's Kyllo says
On Wednesday, Sens. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and Mel Martinez (R-FL) brought back their version of the arbitration act. Their action comes barely a week after Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) reintroduced a version of the bill in the House.
"We believe that the Fairness in Nursing Home Arbitration Act is a misguided attempt to restrict and weaken the Federal Arbitration Act," said Dave Kyllo, Executive Director of NCAL. "We firmly believe this legislation and other efforts to undermine the FAA are bad public policy and a step in the wrong direction," he said in a statement. The Federal Arbitration Act was first enacted in 1925.
The bill would prohibit the use of "any pre-dispute arbitration agreement between a long-term care facility and a resident of such facility... entered into either at any time during the admission process or at any time after the admission process." In the event of a dispute, nursing homes are not prohibited from asking for an arbitration agreement, though residents or plaintiffs are under no obligation to agree to its use.

Imagine you where the President of your country, what do you think you would change??
I would go first for the people that have loads of money, i would make it that any money that belonged to the immediate family would be counted as if the money belonged to them...
You see many rich people who are running a business, the business goes bankrupt and the next minute any money that once belonged to them is now given to the children or their spouse, meaning that they get away with having to pay money back.
The next think would be very rich people would have a percentage would be taken from their money each year and given to help Health Care and Schools.
Next i would look at different ways to make the export in my country higher.
Then look at what it costs per week for a person and family to live, making sure each person gets enough for food, petrol and entertainment
One thing i would try to do is make it that every person in my government for one month lives on the minimum amount of money that is needed, within that time they would have to work a normal 9-5 job without any perks, , find accommodation for themselves so they can see what it is like to have to pay rent, and live day to day like others do. They would have to do this at least once every 2 years to keep them grounded.
What would you do???

The Northern Lights Lugger engine is built for exceptional reliability and long life. The original owner of the boat selected it carefully based on years of experience owning and operating displacement vessels, including his Grand Banks 32 and his Nordhavn 46. He describes the reasons for this thoroughly-considered selection: "The Lugger engine was selected with several requirements in mind: first and foremost, reliability. I wanted a simple, naturally-aspirated non-electronic diesel for cruising in remote areas. It shouldn't be dependent on a computer and electronics to run. Second, durability. It should be rugged and have a long lifetime. That makes this engine the last of the naturally-aspirated, non-electronic diesels allowed into the US EPA regulations. A side benefit of this engine configuration is that it is now in the "heavy-duty" classification, rather than the "light duty" classification of most pleasure boat engines. It can be run wide open if desired with no time restrictions as is otherwise the case. It also should go many thousands of hours before needing an overhaul. In the Nordhavn fleet, long-haul ocean-crossing vessels, these long-stroke, slow-turning Luggers typically go twenty thousand to thirty thousand hours before overhaul is needed. This is five to ten times longer than the usual high-speed engines common in recreational boats. When the time does come to overhaul, the wet cylinder liners make the job much easier and less expensive than pulling the whole block from the boat."
"Actual performance is just what I expected from the pre-purchase calculations that were done...when I am making a passage, such as Seattle to Sitka, I cruise at 7.2 knots to extend range. At that speed she burns 2.1 gal/hr, giving a range of about 1250 nautical miles. The log of my first trip to Alaska shows 320 gallons of fuel burned for the thousand-mile trip to Sitka; no fuel stops were made, and we arrived in Sitka with a quarter of our fuel still aboard. The boat cruised at 7.5 knots using 2.3 gal/hr, about 46 HP using our rule of thumb; 7.3 knots at 2.1 gal/hr for 42 HP, and the "left over" horsepower drove the boat to a maximum speed of over 8 knots, well above optimum displacement cruising. Fuel consumption is high, as is the running angle and the wake, all for a 1.5-knot speed increase. If the engine were larger a potential problem would be not pulling enough power from the engine for long periods of time when cruising, which can lead to premature engine wear. Diesels need to be worked. With easy cruising at about two-thirds power and adequate reserves for adverse wind and wave conditions it's clear that the engine is properly sized for the vessel."
The current owner of this vessel reports the following
8 items that they found to be true:
1. The boat is extremely stable in all sorts of weather.
2. We tended to cruise at 7.2 knots. The engine is very economical at that speed and the boat very comfortable.
3. We were in winds up to 70 knots on dock and up to 40 knots under power. We always had enough power. In the situation where we were running in 40 knots on our head, and significant waves, the boat easily powered through with great comfort to us. At that time, we pulled into Otter Bay and had no problems docking in the stiff winds in a narrow marina.
4. We had situations where we were ostensibly "pinned" to docks by wind where others had difficulty leaving and we were able to get off with no problem.
5. I know that the question for most is "will the boat have power in difficult situations" and think that a larger engine will do that. With this boat we found that the engine had strength and force in these situations. Force was more important than speed and the Lugger engine has sufficient force. It maintains its comfortable speed where other engines would slow down.
7. The engine is amazing economical to run. Any owner will be able to go miles and miles owing to the very minimal consumption of fuel.
8. We found that the engine and its power worked very well for us. We also surprisingly found that many people we met on our two-month cruising vacation last summer
were cruising at the same speed although they had larger engines.
The engine has two alternators - the standard 80 amp for the start battery and a 160 amp to charge only the Rolls house batteries. This supplies a complete back-up electrical system. The renowned Rolls batteries will supply 2 to 3 days of power if you are at anchor.
Inverter/Charger is a Victron Energy / Phoenix Multi Plus 3 KW True Sine Wave system.

This pilothouse trawler is built of hand laid-up fiberglass. Extra glass is installed in the keel and chines (keel and chine doublers). The hull has a full liner bonded in with overlays of galvanized iron for engine mounts. The fuel tanks are fiberglass with stainless steel top access plates. These are included on all tanks. The water tanks are stainless steel and the holding tank is fiberglass.
Doors and windows are manufactured by Manship. The teak and holly floors are solid wood -- not a thin veneer.
The gel coat on this vessel is almost without cracks or separations. This is primarily due the high grade materials used and the detail to which cloth, roving and resin are installed over the gel coat during layup, leaving no voids.
All electrical wire is tinned and labeled at supply and equipment.
Overall construction is of the highest grade.
Bottom paint is still in good condition from last renewal. Boat has been dived upon quarterly last done December 2015 with good report.

This vessel has several features which improve upon the traditional pilothouse trawler interior:
The forward stateroom has a shower compartment entirely separate from the head.
There is a second head (day head) off the saloon/galley.
There are two doors out of the pilothouse to the side decks.
A watertight access door is in the second head to access the engine room.
Because this is a wide body vessel there is a much larger saloon/galley area.
Visibility from the lower station is such that the helmsman can watch any one who is stepping ashore from either side of the swim step.
The pilothouse has a dinette area that easily accommodates three people and converts to a single pilot berth.
The saloon dinette converts to a large double berth and with the extra head aft is effectively a very comfortable convertible guest suite.
"Heat is supplied by a Wallas D40 diesel forced air furnace. This furnace was serviced by a Scan Marine technician in 2015. Mufflers and baffles were added to reduce air flow noise. "
Window coverings are wooden blinds installed by the factory.

Broker's Comments
Step inside this Helmsman Trawlers 38 Pilothouse and you'll feel like you are in a new boat. Outside the white gel coat shines and the stainless steel rails and fittings are almost entirely unblemished. The beautiful interior is equally clean and well-maintained.
Originally imported and sold as a Mariner Yachts International 37 Seville Pilothouse, this model is the predecessor to the current Helmsman Trawlers 38 Pilothouse and is dimensionally equal.
This boat gives the impression of being much larger than its size implies with a very roomy interior and a design that includes a full-beam saloon, a day head, separate master head and shower compartments, and an extended pilothouse that actually serves as a comfortable living area in addition to its piloting function.
The quality of materials and construction are evident with teak and holly floors, beautiful teak joinery, heavy fittings and rails, sturdy deck sections, and thick engine compartment sound insulation.
You'd be hard-pressed to fit more boat into a 40' slip -- and with her John Deere - Lugger 85 hp engine she performs frugally at 7 or 8 knots. She is also a three-time Alaska veteran.
Compare this boat to a Nordic Tug 37 or 39, or to an American Tug 34, 365, or 395. You'll find the Helmsman is roomier, has a more finely-crafted interior, and is built to a very high standard -- at a much more economical price.
(Owner's personal effects do not go with the sale of the boat including the Persian Style Rugs and the main cabin bedding).

October Programming Focus-Core Strength
Now I want you to be honest with me for a minute. How many of you originally started working out due to a dream of someday becoming the proud new owner and operator of a pristine 6-pack and chiseled core? Don't act like the ABhancer above wasn't ever a promising thought that crossed your mind (we have all thought it).
The countless videos, infomercials, magazine ads, and TV shows have all sensationalized the washboard physique and have created a culture of the ideal look. Marketing has done a great job of selling the "It only takes 6 minutes a day" concept but most of us who have either tried these methods in the past or have been working out for a while now know that this is false. It takes pure hard work day in and day out to for you to see gains in the midsection and the reality is that our diets for the most part control much of our aesthetic outcomes.
As we enter October we will be placing our emphasis on the "Core." Now you may be asking yourself "Why are we focusing on our core after summertime when we have already put the midriff or speedo in the closet for the season?." So glad you asked.
When we hear the word core we often attribute it to our abdominals but it is so much more than that. All the major muscles that move, support and stabilize your spine are called the muscles of your core and trunk. These include the Rectus Abdominis, Erector Spinae, Obliques, Transverse Abdominus, and Multifidi which all synergistically work together from the front of your body to the back in order for you to bend, twist, stand, stabilize, and move. We have come to a great age in fitness where we understand that isolated ab work most often does not carry over to being an agile and cheetah-like human being capable of everyday functional feats of strength and prowess. Our bodies are not meant to move in isolated ways but rather as one unit. This is why your coaches here at WIP Fitness program dynamic movements that engage all aspects of your core. We are about movements not isolated muscle groups.
Now, don't get me wrong directly working the abs can be fun and give you that feeling of superhuman core tightness to help you seize your day but in the end full body core strength is what's important. That is why in October you will see a little more core isolation work but most of our movements and coaching will be centered around learning to use your core as a unit to create what we call Midline Stabilization. Midline Stabilization refers to ability to maintain a neutral spine through full range of motion. All of your core muscles help to keep your spine stable and stiff and allows you to use your prime movers such as the muscles in the hips, glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors more effectively. Using your core the correct way results in you lifting more weight, recruiting greater power, and keeping you away from injury. Every time you plank, pullup, squat, press, deadlift with a neutral spine you are strengthening your core.
Here is what to begin practicing this month when lifting and moving (Taken from Dr. Kelly Starrett). This bracing sequence is best practiced without lifting and by standing in place.
Squeeze your glutes- This locks your hips into a neutral position
Pull your ribcage down to your hips as if your doing a miniature crunch- This helps you avoid overextending your trunk
Tighten your belly by drawing your belly button into your spine (note that you should still be able to breathe comfortably in this position)- This helps to create intra-abdominal pressure and the proper positioning for your back
Set your head to neutral and screw your shoulders down to a stable position. Your head should be in a straight alignment with your spine and you want to feel the tips of your shoulder blades reaching toward your hips
That tightness and rigidity that you feel in your core is what you must maintain in order to experience the benefits of Midline Stabilization. Practicing these steps may not give you a 6-pack by the end of October but it will certainly bring you closer to becoming that agile inner cheetah you have always wanted to be.
Be Ferocious,

Post by Trésor
It is this time of year when I most like to indulge myself in longing daydreams of summertime sunlight and balmy afternoons passed to combat what seems to be a lifetime sentence within a glacial dimension of never-ending ice and snow, otherwise known as a typical Canadian winter. I imagine myself not far off, lounging in tranquility on the crystalline white sands of the Maldives but within the splendid embrace of an evening's breeze on a midsummer's stroll through the forest behind my home. The exquisite fragrance of the trees dancing a gossamer tango with the vapours of an eau de cologne I'd lavishly splashed prior to my departure, unifying in paradisiacal harmony and guiding me so gracefully through my frost-bound reality. It is within the vitreous sapphire flacon of Atelier Cologne's new Cédre Atlas where perfumer Jerome Epinette has mirrored this dream sequence so effortlessly, an olfactory time machine into one of my most treasured escapes.
Cédre Atlas by Jerome Epinette for Atelier Cologne 2015
Photo Stolen Sephora
BaseNotes gives these featured accords:
Top: Lemon, Bergamot, Blackcurrant bud
Heart: Atlas cedarwood, Egyptian jasmine, Apricot
Base: White amber, Indian papyrus, Haitian vetiver
Cédre Atlas opens on my skin with the most ebullient note of radiant lemon underscored ever so slightly by a gentle whisper of bitter bergamot. It is not long after the initial burst of lustrous citrine that cedar begins to take centre stage. The cedar in Cédre Atlas has been executed with such visceral clarity and grows increasingly powerful the longer it spends on the skin, pushing my personal boundaries of what I would consider to be "too much" without ever actually crossing the line. I find this bit particularly fascinating and if I am being honest it is quickly becoming my favourite use of cedar I have ever encountered in a fragrance, forceful but delicate; a dichotomy and harmonious synchronicity. After about the sixth hour the cedar begins to ebb and flourishing jasmine petals descend upon the composition and make way for a sweet juxtaposition of juicy apricot painted in empyreal watercolour. The extreme dry down reveals silken tendrils of vetiver enraptured within a sensuous veil of soft, transparent amber. It is within this graceful descent that the composition becomes a skin scent and then finally becomes but a sublime memory.

The sillage with Cédre Atlas is subtle but most certainly present, hovering around you as a soft cloud of aromatic cirrus. Longevity is what I think impressed me most, managing to cling to my skin for upwards of ten hours and finally dissipating entirely around twelve, an attribute I find rather impressive not only with this fragrance but with most of the offerings within the entirety of the Atelier Cologne range. I urge you to give Cédre Atlas a go if you are looking to experience a cedar note executed with both dynamism and grace or simply wish to take an alternative route to reliving a state of summertime bliss.

Three people were behind bars at the Alachua County jail Tuesday morning after Gainesville police arrested the three for robbery.
Three people were behind bars at the Alachua County jail Tuesday morning after Gainesville police arrested the three for robbing a woman, stealing cash and medication.
Stephen R. Slater, 22; Mitchell Curtis Haire, 27; and Emmaleah Carter-Odom, 22, all of Gainesville, were being held at the jail on a charge of robbery.
A woman at an apartment in northwest Gainesville told officers that she had spoken to Haire at about 8 p.m. and he asked her if she had any oxycodone. When she told him she did, Haire left and Carter-Odom showed up and asked to use the phone.
The woman said Carter-Odom then suddenly pulled out a small pocketknife, placed the blade against her neck and said, "Give me your purse or I will kill you."
The two struggled and the fight spilled out on the front yard, police reported, adding that Carter-Odom bit the other woman on the hand as the victim continued to hold onto her purse, containing about $260, her medications, phone and identification.
Slater and Haire then showed up and the woman said Slater took the purse. Then the three left.
Police later located the three suspects. Carter-Odom and Slater denied they were involved in the robbery. Haire told police the woman had been charging too much for pills and that the other two fought with the woman and took her purse, although he said he fled from the scene with Slater.
